When we wake up each morning, are our first thoughts about a desire to praise God for His grace and goodness to us or, are they focused on our problems and things that need to be done? When we begin the day focusing on our problems or personal agenda, we may miss the many valuable resources that God desires to make available to us for a productive day.
"God could and would if He were sought" should be front and center in our minds as we begin each new day. When we put God first, He provides the wisdom and strength we need to achieve what is on our agenda. On the other hand, when we begin our day trying to think of solutions for the circumstances that may cause us problems, we might find that we are ill equipped to handle what we do encounter.
The eyes of the Lord search the whole earth in order to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him. (2 Chronicles 16:9 NLT)
Why worry and complain all day long about our hardships when God is ready to help us? All we need to do is ask for His help early in the morning and continually throughout the day.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, Help me to remember to seek You early, and all day long. I want to trust You in all my affairs, for there is no hardship that You are unable to resolve. Amen
